Changing over to streaming - worth it ?

[IGtrader]

I have a fairly adequate bot using API-NG but its not really good enough for in play horse racing as I get around 4 to 5 updates per second. Before I put all the effort in to change to streaming does anyone have an idea what number of price updates per second I could get ?

I can check later but from memory on inplay racing it can be up to about 10 however if your not profitable using polling streaming ain’t gonna help much.

Just graphed it out and I got an average of 10 with a max of 11 over a random inplay horse race.

Streaming is not about the number of market update you receive. It's about the amount of cpu that is used.
Without streaming you're going around in a loop and killing your cpu usage.
With streaming your program waits for market changes to be sent.

My pnl would strongly disagree! But yes it also reduces cpu, client and server.
